Honestly, I am not seeing a big difference so far. I loaded my various saves and checked to see if any of my bases were affected, but didn't see much of a change. Yes, clouds and water are better looking, and some planets had some new terrain features, but nothing major. I wonder if they limited the impacts to existing inhabited planets?

    I would assume already discovered planets aren’t really affected

    I could be mistaken but when they released the pirate update they said only undiscovered system as not to mess with the existing conflict levels or soemthing

    My main base planet changed to an ugly shade of orange and now there's bubble atmosphere that wasn't there before. The geometry looks about the same, but there are some changes that could be a little upsetting.

    I much rather have this update though and build a new base on another planet.
